DUI/DWI offenders in Bancroft are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can often be very harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bancroft that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
